Reminder: CentOS Stream 8 is now EOL

Hi, just a reminder that CentOS Stream 8 reached its end of life at the end of last month on Friday, May 31, 2024. As it has been announced by CentOS project[1], all the CentOS Stream 8 repositories are going to be archived at vault.centos.org . Who didn't update yet to CentOS Stream 9 will probably hit several errors related to this archiving: you'll need to manually adjust the repository url to point to the new location at vault.centos.org. The archiving is going to happen today [2] with the decommissioning of the nodes used by the CentOS Community Build System used for oVirt builds for Stream 8 within the CentOS Virtualization SIG. At this point, the recommendation is to upgrade to CentOS Stream 9 (or derived) as soon as practical. For those who are pushing changes to the oVirt project, please note GitHub actions may start to fail on CentOS Stream 8 (and with that, the builds for oVirt Node and oVirt Appliance). It's up to you to decide if you want to change the config there to use a different el8 distribution for running the tests or just turn off el8 and rely only on CentOS Stream 9 tests.

Hi Sanbro, I have 3 production oVirt clusters running and I missed upgrading HE before May 31, 2024. If I am reading everything that you stated correctly I will need to point HE CentOS Stream release 8 to vault.centos.org and then upgrade to CentOS Stream 9. Do you have the procedures for taking a HE CentOS Stream release 8 pointed at vault.contos.org and upgrading it to CentOS Stream 9?
